MY MIL GIFTED US A HOUSE FOR OUR WEDDING – A WEEK LATER, I DEMANDED WE RETURN IT OR END OUR MARRIAGE
Last month, Sarah and I got married after six amazing years together. At our wedding, her mom gave us the most shocking gift: the deed to a gorgeous five-bedroom house in a super expensive neighborhood. I was blown away. Growing up with little, this felt like a dream come true.
But Sarah’s reaction was… weird. Her smile was forced, and she barely said anything. I thought it was just wedding stress.
We moved in, and the house was perfect—everything I’d ever wanted. But Sarah was distant, disappearing to another room with her phone and brushing off my questions. I tried to be patient.
Then came the dinner.
MIL invited us over to celebrate “starting our new life.” Everything seemed fine, but MIL was unusually cheerful, and Sarah barely said a word. Halfway through dinner, MIL casually said, “So, have you spoken to my lawyer yet? I assume Sarah explained the arrangement?”
I froze. Lawyer? Arrangement?
Sarah’s fork hit her plate, her face pale. I looked between them, demanding an explanation. ⬇️
